Fix recently introduced codepaths that are involved in parallel
submodule operations, which gave up on reading too early, and
could have wasted CPU while attempting to write under a corner
case condition.
* sb/submodule-parallel-fetch:
hoist out handle_nonblock function for xread and xwrite
xwrite: poll on non-blocking FDs
xread: retry after poll on EAGAIN/EWOULDBLOCK
|
|
At least for me, this improves the readability of xread and
xwrite; hopefully allowing missing "continue" statements to
be spotted more easily.

write(2) can hit the same EAGAIN/EWOULDBLOCK errors as read(2),
so busy-looping on a non-blocking FD is a waste of resources.
Currently, I do not know of a way for this happen:
* the NonBlocking directive in systemd does not apply to stdin,
stdout, or stderr.
* xinetd provides no way to set the non-blocking flag at all
But theoretically, it's possible a careless C10K HTTP server
could use pipe2(..., O_NONBLOCK) to setup a pipe for
git-http-backend with only the intent to use non-blocking reads;
but accidentally leave non-blocking set on the write end passed
as stdout to git-upload-pack.

We should continue to loop after EAGAIN/EWOULDBLOCK as the
intent of xread is to try until there is available data,
EOF, or an unrecoverable error.

|

REALLOC_ARRAY inherently involves a multiplication which can
overflow size_t, resulting in a much smaller buffer than we
think we've allocated. We can easily harden it by using
st_mult() to check for overflow. Likewise, we can add
ALLOC_ARRAY to do the same thing for xmalloc calls.
xcalloc() should already be fine, because it takes the two
factors separately, assuming the system calloc actually
checks for overflow. However, before we even hit the system
calloc(), we do our memory_limit_check, which involves a
multiplication. Let's check for overflow ourselves so that
this limit cannot be bypassed.

Some codepaths used fopen(3) when opening a fixed path in $GIT_DIR

done. This however did not work well if the repository is set to
be shared with core.sharedRepository and the umask of the previous

The man page of read(2) says:
EAGAIN The file descriptor fd refers to a file other than a socket
and has been marked nonblocking (O_NONBLOCK), and the read
would block.
EAGAIN or EWOULDBLOCK
The file descriptor fd refers to a socket and has been marked
nonblocking (O_NONBLOCK), and the read would block. POSIX.1-2001
allows either error to be returned for this case, and does not
require these constants to have the same value, so a portable
application should check for both possibilities.
If we get an EAGAIN or EWOULDBLOCK the fd must have set O_NONBLOCK.
As the intent of xread is to read as much as possible either until the
fd is EOF or an actual error occurs, we can ease the feeder of the fd
by not spinning the whole time, but rather wait for it politely by not
busy waiting.
We should not care if the call to poll failed, as we're in an infinite
loop and can only get out with the correct read().

ident.c uses it. And nobody is likely to in the future,

There are a number of places in the code where we call
sprintf(), with the assumption that the output will fit into
the buffer. In many cases this is true (e.g., formatting a
number into a large buffer), but it is hard to tell
immediately from looking at the code. It would be nice if we
had some run-time check to make sure that our assumption is
correct (and to communicate to readers of the code that we
are not blindly calling sprintf, but have actually thought
about this case).
This patch introduces xsnprintf, which behaves just like
snprintf, except that it dies whenever the output is
truncated. This acts as a sort of assert() for these cases,
which can help find places where the assumption is violated
(as opposed to truncating and proceeding, which may just
silently give a wrong answer).

All existing callers to this function use it to produce a text file
or an empty file, and a new callsite that mimick them must end their
payload with a LF. If they forget to do so, the resulting file will
end with an incomplete line.

that the callers do not have to.

flag, introduce write_file_gently() as a new way to attempt creating
a file without dying on error, and make three callers to call it.

Our default I/O size (8 MiB) for large files was too large for some
platforms with smaller SSIZE_MAX, leading to read(2)/write(2)
failures.
* jc/max-io-size-and-ssize-max:
xread/xwrite: clip MAX_IO_SIZE to SSIZE_MAX
|
|
Since 0b6806b9 (xread, xwrite: limit size of IO to 8MB, 2013-08-20),
we chomp our calls to read(2) and write(2) into chunks of
MAX_IO_SIZE bytes (8 MiB), because a large IO results in a bad
latency when the program needs to be killed. This also brought our
IO below SSIZE_MAX, which is a limit POSIX allows read(2) and
write(2) to fail when the IO size exceeds it, for OS X, where a
problem was originally reported.
However, there are other systems that define SSIZE_MAX smaller than
our default, and feeding 8 MiB to underlying read(2)/write(2) would
fail. Make sure we clip our calls to the lower limit as well.

|
GIT_ALLOC_LIMIT limits xmalloc()'s size, which is of type size_t.
Better use git_env_ulong() to parse the environment variable, so
that the postfixes 'k', 'm', and 'g' can be used; and use size_t to
store the limit for consistency. The change to size_t has no direct
practical impact, because the environment variable is only meant to
be used for our own tests, and we use it to test small sizes.
The cast of size in the call to die() is changed to uintmax_t to
match the format string PRIuMAX.

Before we proceed to opportunistically update the index (often done
by an otherwise read-only operation like "git status" and "git diff"
that internally refreshes the index), we must verify that the
current index file is the same as the one that we read earlier
before we took the lock on it, in order to avoid a possible race.
In the example below git-status does "opportunistic update" and
git-rebase updates the index, but the race can happen in general.
1. process A calls git-rebase (or does anything that uses the index)
2. process A applies 1st commit
3. process B calls git-status (or does anything that updates the index)
4. process B reads index
5. process A applies 2nd commit
6. process B takes the lock, then overwrites process A's changes.
7. process A applies 3rd commit
As an end result the 3rd commit will have a revert of the 2nd commit.
When process B takes the lock, it needs to make sure that the index
hasn't changed since step 4.

Checking out 2GB or more through an external filter (see test) fails
on Mac OS X 10.8.4 (12E55) for a 64-bit executable with:
error: read from external filter cat failed
error: cannot feed the input to external filter cat
error: cat died of signal 13
error: external filter cat failed 141
error: external filter cat failed
The reason is that read() immediately returns with EINVAL when asked
to read more than 2GB. According to POSIX [1], if the value of
nbyte passed to read() is greater than SSIZE_MAX, the result is
implementation-defined. The write function has the same restriction
[2]. Since OS X still supports running 32-bit executables, the
32-bit limit (SSIZE_MAX = INT_MAX = 2GB - 1) seems to be also
imposed on 64-bit executables under certain conditions. For write,
the problem has been addressed earlier [6c642a].
Address the problem for read() and write() differently, by limiting
size of IO chunks unconditionally on all platforms in xread() and
xwrite(). Large chunks only cause problems, like causing latencies
when killing the process, even if OS X was not buggy. Doing IO in
reasonably sized smaller chunks should have no negative impact on
performance.
The compat wrapper clipped_write() introduced earlier [6c642a] is
not needed anymore. It will be reverted in a separate commit. The
new test catches read and write problems.
Note that 'git add' exits with 0 even if it prints filtering errors
to stderr. The test, therefore, checks stderr. 'git add' should
probably be changed (sometime in another commit) to exit with
nonzero if filtering fails. The test could then be changed to use
test_must_fail.

The changes v1.7.12.1~2^2~4 (config: warn on inaccessible files,
2012-08-21) and v1.8.1.1~22^2~2 (config: treat user and xdg config
permission problems as errors, 2012-10-13) were intended to prevent
important configuration (think "[transfer] fsckobjects") from being
ignored when the configuration is unintentionally unreadable (for
example with EIO on a flaky filesystem, or with ENOMEM due to a DoS
attack). Usually ~/.gitconfig and ~/.config/git are readable by the
current user, and if they aren't then it would be easy to fix those
permissions, so the damage from adding this check should have been
minimal.
Unfortunately the access() check often trips when git is being run as
a server. A daemon (such as inetd or git-daemon) starts as "root",
creates a listening socket, and then drops privileges, meaning that
when git commands are invoked they cannot access $HOME and die with
fatal: unable to access '/root/.config/git/config': Permission denied
Any patch to fix this would have one of three problems:
1. We annoy sysadmins who need to take an extra step to handle HOME
when dropping privileges (the current behavior, or any other
proposal that they have to opt into).
2. We annoy sysadmins who want to set HOME when dropping privileges,
either by making what they want to do impossible, or making them
set an extra variable or option to accomplish what used to work
(e.g., a patch to git-daemon to set HOME when --user is passed).
3. We loosen the check, so some cases which might be noteworthy are
not caught.
This patch is of type (3).
Treat user and xdg configuration that are inaccessible due to
permissions (EACCES) as though no user configuration was provided at
all.
An alternative method would be to check if $HOME is readable, but that
would not help in cases where the user who dropped privileges had a
globally readable HOME with only .config or .gitconfig being private.
This does not change the behavior when /etc/gitconfig or .git/config
is unreadable (since those are more serious configuration errors),
nor when ~/.gitconfig or ~/.config/git is unreadable due to problems
other than permissions.

Git reads multiple configuration files: settings come first from the
system config file (typically /etc/gitconfig), then the xdg config
file (typically ~/.config/git/config), then the user's dotfile
(~/.gitconfig), then the repository configuration (.git/config).
Git has always used access(2) to decide whether to use each file; as
an unfortunate side effect, that means that if one of these files is
unreadable (e.g., EPERM or EIO), git skips it. So if I use
~/.gitconfig to override some settings but make a mistake and give it
the wrong permissions then I am subject to the settings the sysadmin
chose for /etc/gitconfig.
Better to error out and ask the user to correct the problem.
This only affects the user and xdg config files, since the user
presumably has enough access to fix their permissions. If the system
config file is unreadable, the best we can do is to warn about it so
the user knows to notify someone and get on with work in the meantime.

The access_or_warn() function is used to check for optional
configuration files like .gitconfig and .gitignore and warn when they
are not accessible due to a configuration issue (e.g., bad
permissions). It is not supposed to complain when a file is simply
missing.
Noticed on a system where ~/.config/git was a file --- when the new
XDG_CONFIG_HOME support looks for ~/.config/git/config it should
ignore ~/.config/git instead of printing irritating warnings:
$ git status -s
warning: unable to access '/home/jrn/.config/git/config': Not a directory
warning: unable to access '/home/jrn/.config/git/config': Not a directory
warning: unable to access '/home/jrn/.config/git/config': Not a directory
warning: unable to access '/home/jrn/.config/git/config': Not a directory
Compare v1.7.12.1~2^2 (attr:failure to open a .gitattributes file
is OK with ENOTDIR, 2012-09-13).

The previous series introduced warnings to multiple places, but it
could become tiring to see the warning on the same path over and
over again during a single run of Git. Making just one function
responsible for issuing this warning, we could later choose to keep
track of which paths we issued a warning (it would involve a hash
table of paths after running them through real_path() or something)
in order to reduce noise.
Right now we do not know if the noise reduction is necessary, but it
still would be a good code reduction/sharing anyway.

Before reading a config file, we check "!access(path, R_OK)"
to make sure that the file exists and is readable. If it's
not, then we silently ignore it.
For the case of ENOENT, this is fine, as the presence of the
file is optional. For other cases, though, it may indicate a
configuration error (e.g., not having permissions to read
the file). Let's print a warning in these cases to let the
user know.

When getpwuid fails, we give a cute but cryptic message.
While it makes sense if you know that getpwuid or identity
functions are being called, this code is triggered behind
the scenes by quite a few git commands these days (e.g.,
receive-pack on a remote server might use it for a reflog;
the current message is hard to distinguish from an
authentication error). Let's switch to something that gives
a little more context.
While we're at it, we can factor out all of the
cut-and-pastes of the "you don't exist" message into a
wrapper function. Rather than provide xgetpwuid, let's make
it even more specific to just getting the passwd entry for
the current uid. That's the only way we use getpwuid anyway,
and it lets us make an even more specific error message.
The current message also fails to mention errno. While the
usual cause for getpwuid failing is that the user does not
exist, mentioning errno makes it easier to diagnose these
problems. Note that POSIX specifies that errno remain
untouched if the passwd entry does not exist (but will be
set on actual errors), whereas some systems will return
ENOENT or similar for a missing entry. We handle both cases
in our wrapper.

New test cases list commands that should work when memory is
limited. All memory allocation functions (*) learn to reject any
allocation larger than $GIT_ALLOC_LIMIT if set.
(*) Not exactly all. Some places do not use x* functions, but
malloc/calloc directly, notably diff-delta. These code path should
never be run on large blobs.
